76ers rookie VJ Edgecome on star center Joel Embiid playing through pain:
"I think that shows a lot. The media tries to make it seem like he doesn’t want to play basketball. I mean, come on. Like he’s out there in pain and made a big shot at the end of the game. Like he barely could have raised his right hand up. And that just shows his character too. He cares about winning. It’s Joel. It’s Joel Embiid bro. That's what we’re talking about right now so. I know they try to paint this bad picture about him, but it’s not true. I’m going to say that here it’s not true. It’s not true. He wants to do what’s best for the team and what’s best for him."
